Lyrics:

Six years ago, a very hot summer night Avenue A with my friends hangin tight No future, no goals, and no destiny Hangin on the corner for the world to see Some friends drunk and some friends high Laughing, talkin shit as the people walked by Air was dense, muggy as fuck Lower east side runnin amuck Guilty by association Judged by who I know Can't keep all my friends outa trouble when they got no place to go (2x) Me drug-free in the midst of it all Crazy fuckin summer hangin out with Madball People got their ass kicked, people got hurt But I was accepted for all it was worth Bad reputations are hard to live down I'm not guilty for who I hang around Guilty by association Judged by who I know Can't keep all my friends outa trouble when they got no place to go (2x) Sometimes I felt like an outcast, tryin to talk my friends outa trouble Tried to be a positive role model, but I got caught up in the rumble We had ideas scribbled on walls Six years later our destiny calls Living our lives, some of us in bands Touring the world, but we know where we stand We play shows together or just hanging out, talkin 'bout the good times We're still the same fellas, still all tight Young till we die and ready to fight for what's right As I look back now on that summer vacation I realize, I'll always be guilty by association!! Guilty by association Judged by who I know Can't keep all my friends outa trouble when they got no place to go (2x) As I look back now on that summer vacation I realize - I'll always be GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION!!!
